hopefully on the WEST side suburbs. Marietta, Austell, Powder Springs, Hiram, Woodstock area. Anyone who could help out one afternoon on a no-start issue. I need some one to put an eye on the engine while I crank it. Time and day at your leisure.

Just curious, why are towns on the west side of Atlanta known as "East side suburbs?"

They aren't. This is just a thread to see if anyone is paying attention. LOL

Of course, I meant WEST SIDE suburbs.

The problem is that its not pulling up fuel and the primer is only pushing out air.

I forgot to ask, Chuck, did you fill the primary fuel filter with fuel when you put the new one in?

Hes going to be borrowing my compression tester to see how things go.

Cranked it with a known good battery (12.2v) + jumpered to another known good battery. Cracked the injector lines and got fuel at least to the first two.
Tried to run off a jug of fuel and bypass the tank, but it would not draw from the jug. Tank is definitely full with Star-Tron. Fuel looks clear.
Valves adjusted and reinspected.
Good filters.

OK... very interesting that you only got the first two to feed fuel... if that is what you are saying.... ?

leatherman: Lack of the appropriate 17mm open end wrench precluded opening up the rest of the injectors. Channel locks allowed us to open the first two (barely).

winmutt: yes, I filled the primary (spin-on) with fresh clean fuel to the rim before installing.
